Cheers Chris! They're pretty good engines, very smooth! I'd love to have a go in a 306 which has one. I'd also love a straight pipe for mine too, they sound pornographic.
On Friday the EML came on on the way to work and it started running like a dog. Limped it home as I wasn't too far away, and had to get the train to work (nearly two hours to travel the 8 miles to work in total, fml). Called up Dum-Dum at around 4.30 this afternoon to see if I'd be able to have the use of his scanguage to see what the code was, even though I had suspicions that it was a coilpack. That didn't seem to play nice, so we did the manual method and found which coil pack it was. Phoned the local motor factors (Midnight Motors in Wembley, open til 10pm on a Sunday FTW!) and they had one in stock so went and grabbed it
I'd previously spoken to another guy at a different branch of that motor factors, and was told that it would be £135+VAT for a single coilpack :-O Turns out that was for the 4 cylinder which apparently has the coilpacks on some form of rail connecting all 4, and the one I needed was £45 so that was a bonus! Now running on 6 cylinders again, so many thanks to Dum-Dum for driving me up there, and coming over on such short notice.
